Charlotte, N.C. – Harris Teeter announced today a $225,000 donation to its local food bank partners. Harris Teeter raised the money during its annual ‘food bank’ golf outing in Charlotte, N.C., attended by 56 of the Company’s valued vendors. Seventeen of the Company’s food bank partners will receive a donation as a result of the funds raised.

Many of Harris Teeter’s food bank partners are a part of Feeding America, the national organization fighting hunger in the community through the assistance of local and national food assistance programs. In its fiscal year 2012, Feeding America provided 3.39 billion pounds of food to people in need while expanding public awareness of the issue of hunger.

Harris Teeter would again like to thank its vendor partners who participated in the golf tournament as well as its customers who support the Company’s fundraising initiatives throughout the year. Harris Teeter hopes its donations to its food bank partners including the one announced today help make it easier for these organizations to combat food insecurity.
